Hi,

Thank you for your update.

Based on my search, you could try to remove Feature-On-Demand CAB:
Mixed Reality relies on a Feature-On-Demand CAB to run. This CAB is downloaded during a user’s initial experience and should be removed. To remove the FOD, open PowerShell as an Administrator and type:

Dism /online /Get-Capabilities

Note: Copy the Capability Identity that begins with Analog.Holographic.Desktop. If that capability can’t be found, then the FOD isn’t installed.

Dism /online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:copied Capability Identity

Then restart.

If the issue still insists, I suggest that you disable or Remove “Mixed Reality Portal” App in System App folder.

Hi,

As far as I know, because the Mixed Reality Shell is built directly into the Windows 10 desktop, some components including Mixed Reality Portal are actually part of the OS and cannot be removed as an app.

Please refer to the link below about How to Uninstall Mixed Reality in Windows 10

Thanks Carl, I'll try to remove from System App folder. But I don't want to follow manual approach.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I consider that you could assign user logon script or assign computer startup script.

Or you could use the Task Scheduler to run automatically.

Thanks!! Can we use powershell scripts for this? or any way to disable from all Programs.

As when I'm trying to set Registry Key at FirstRunSucceeded to "0" it's only disable the app from Settings.

Hi,

I’m afraid that we couldn’t use the PowserShell to uninstall it. Because it is a Built-in apps such as Edge protected by Windows 10.

We could only use the method in the below to uninstall it.

I tried

Dism /online /remove-capability /capabilityname:Analog.Holographic.Desktop~~~~0.0.1.0

but I got:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1

Image Version: 10.0.17134.48


Error: 87

A Windows capability name was not recognized.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

What is wrong?

This method does not work. At least at version 1803 (build 17134.48).
